Make your own sunshade with magnets

Some time ago I read a post here on how to make a sunshade using magnets like the expensive factory made.

I can not find that article, Please if you know where I need look guide me?

Thank you

    I did this for my inside curtains, but I did not use anybody's directions. It was pretty straightforward. I used silicone glue to attach the magnets to the glass.

    RG,

    The OP poster is referring to the Magne-Shade clone where someone made their own. The shade uses magnets that tape to the windshield on the inside. The magnets that are sewn into the sunshade match up to the magnets at the windshield securing the shade to the windshield.

    Although we have the interior mesh shade for privacy, it would also be nice to have a shade on the outside to deter direct sun rays from coming in.
